Chapter 746: The beginning and end of identity, elimination rules!
"You guys, if you had Su Youzong's ambition, the territory wouldn't be in the situation it is today"
"Forget it, what do I say about these hindsights now? Use "
" Let's all disperse. "
He admonished everyone. Seeing everyone bowing their heads and obeying, Chen Shen felt bored.
Taking the bet that Sumo had just signed in his hand, he first raised his head and looked around at everyone's faces, then walked back to his desk, reached out and brought in a thick stack of official documents and started processing the approvals. .
The night was slightly cool, and gusts of cool breeze poured in from the open window, blowing the hair next to the mask and lifting it slightly.
The warm yellow light shines on his face, making him look peaceful and peaceful.
After being stunned for a while, everyone in the standing crowd immediately looked at Chen Kai, and he stepped forward slightly.
"Mr. Su, it's getting late. Let's go out first and then talk about it?"
"Okay!"
Putting away the agreement on the table, Sumo put it in his pocket and followed a dozen first-generation Chen family members out of the office.
Before coming, he did not expect that the progress would be pushed to this point tonight.
Not only did he successfully obtain the trading license and get in touch with Chen Shen and others in the Chen family, he also successfully resolved the hidden dangers brought about by his status as the manager of Baoyu County.
And with the information and game rules provided by people like Chen, even if the bet he made is indeed a bit outrageous, it is still possible to complete it.
All the way out of the office, everyone followed the elevator down to the first floor.
The silent atmosphere was not broken until Jiang Xiaoyu's figure appeared in the field of vision.
She stepped forward and first looked at Somo, who was surrounded by everyone and seemed to be the center.
Then he asked tentatively:
"Uncle Kai, do you need me to help you arrange a quiet place?"
"Okay, let's just go to the pub we often go to. It just so happens that I haven't had a good drink in many days."
Sangtian Town is the closest to Hope City, and Chen Kai is obviously more familiar with it than the other Chen family members. here.
The two said a few words, and Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, picked up the pager on his waist, and started giving instructions.
After a while, when the sound of arrangements came from the other side of the pager, Jiang Xiaoyu, who was walking in front, slowed down and unconsciously fell next to Sumo.
"Mr. Su, Miss Zhang, we will send it back for you, you don't have to worry"
"Ah, okay, you can also bring this trouble to him and let him take it back together." Sumo nodded, took out the previously stamped trading license and handed it over.
The other party took it and left obediently along the other side of the aisle.
All the way out of the mayor's building.
Four dark cars had already parked in front of the building and were waiting. When they saw everyone approaching, the driver got out of the car and opened the door.
Sumo has never enjoyed this kind of treatment, whether in the civilized era or in the real wasteland.
At this time, Su Mo followed Chen Kai into the lead car and was quite surprised for a while.
The standard cars used for pick-up and drop-off are also fifth-generation cars, with almost perfect safety and controllability.
And the specially made window covering turned out to be a screen, showing four cars driving on the road from a high position.
"Are there drones following us?"
A suspicion flashed through his mind, and Sumo immediately clicked on the screen to see if there were any other functions.
Unexpectedly, not far after the vehicle exited, Chen Yi, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly made a sound in embarrassment.
"Mr. Su, I have to apologize to you first. It was just a test before. I didn't expect you to be so well prepared."
"Chen Yimeng is in trouble."
Being called to the office late at night by the mayor Chen Shen for a talk was a unique treatment, even in the past few years when talent was widely recruited.
On the way to the mayor's building, everyone was still speculating whether there would be an extra like-minded companion tonight or an enemy with a different political orientation.
But what they never expected was.
This Su Youzong completely convinced Chen Shen just by "drawing a big cake".
In a sudden change, he was neither a companion nor an enemy, but his boss? !
"It's okay, I didn't take it seriously"
"When I go to Baoyu County in the future, I will have to rely on your help. It's too superficial to say this"
Turning his head and looking at Chen Yi's sincere face, Su Mo's amused expression remained as usual.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kai beside him breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly added: "I'm just telling you, Youzong will definitely not care."
Cong Su From Youzong to Mr. Su, and then to Youzong again, Chen Kai's attitude changed unknowingly.
But at this time, no one cared about this matter.
Seeing that Su Mo was curious about the screen, Chen Yi volunteered to explain.
"This "Eagle Eye" high- and low-altitude cooperative tracking system is a masterpiece developed by our territory at the end of six years. It can not only be used for territorial defense and security in peacetime, but can also cooperate with ground troops in wartime to create surprises for the enemy. "Effect"
"The drones among them happen to be made by our Xishou Heavy Industry. If you like it, I can have a few sent to you later, so that you can go to Baoyu. Over there in the county, safety is greatly guaranteed."
"Eagle Eye?"
While Chen Yi was introducing, Su Mo continued to click on his hand, and sure enough he saw it on the main interface. Corresponding eagle eye logo.
“What about the bomb load of this thing? If we send out hundreds of them at once, wouldn’t it be able to carry out coverage bombing?”
"Amount of ammunition?" When it comes to the military industry, the manager Chen Yi is a little confused.
On the contrary, Chen Zheng, who had been in contact with him next to him, echoed: "We have divided the models and specifications of drones into four categories, namely young eagle, male eagle, eagle and flying eagle. The Eagle cannot carry bombs due to its size and can only be responsible for range surveillance. The other three levels can load ammunition to a certain extent and complete the bombing mission."
"But this thing, if you want to complete the bombing mission, Just relying on it is too far."
"You Zong, let me give you the simplest example and you will know."
After saying that, Chen Zheng thought about it, and then simply. Take Wuya Mansion as an example.
"Wuya Mansion, they have also developed drones. Although the technology is very rough and the system is rubbish, there is no such thing as saying that after they go to the battlefield, they only play offense and defense, and the difficulty of defense is much less than that of attack. "
"Our air defense forces can defend against their drone formations. Similarly, theirs can also defend against ours using electromagnetic interference and other stupid methods."
"If not Used in wartime, or used against foreign races, this thing can be used suddenly to have miraculous effects, but if there is a territorial dispute, bombing will be used."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zheng shook his head, his meaning was self-explanatory. Metaphor.
Humans can certainly use all their firepower when dealing with alien races, and they can use whatever means they have.
But among humans, there are originally few survivors, and buildings are expensive.
If we still use bombing to crush them several times, even if we win the battle, the goods received will not be as much as the losses.
"We can do without the arms race, but we cannot do without it"
"Besides."
Pointing out the key points, Chen Kai continued to pick up the conversation.
"Because of Lord Sumo, we share many technologies with the Longqi Territory, but as far as the current progress is concerned, they have completely crushed us, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, the gap is getting bigger and bigger. "But I can't blame others. In recent years, we have been competing to excavate ruins steadily. We have not dared to take risks like other territories to make a big one, and the natural harvest will not be comparable."
"So that's it." Su Mo frowned: "This is somewhat different from what I thought before. I thought that their technology was developed by themselves, but I didn't expect that it was inherited from the ruins. "
"How can we develop it ourselves? Among the top thirty territories, in addition to the three major territories, we are the only ones with the Academy of Sciences." Chen Kai showed a slight sense of superiority on his face: "I want to create something from scratch. The research and development of new technologies not only requires a lot of geniuses, but also supporting equipment and sufficient time. Disasters in the wasteland are too frequent. Until the survival problem is solved, how can you have the energy to sink funds in it?"< br>
“Our Tianyuan Territory, in the past few years, believed too much in technology, which led to the subsequent misguided efforts to give up the territory.”
"Oh, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Recalling the past, Chen Kai looked solemn, as if he was very taboo about what happened in the past.
Looking at his appearance, Su Mo couldn't continue to ask, so he could only change the topic: "As for grain harvesting, no matter how poor the technology research and development level of the Academy of Sciences is, it is impossible not to be able to do this. Why has it been done all these years? Do we still need to maintain manual harvesting? "
"If we had implemented machine harvesting and vigorously planted grains in the early years, we wouldn't have had this little grain inventory now, right?"
"Huh? .”
As if he didn't expect Sumo to ask such a direct question, Chen Kai thought for a moment: "You are right. Even though the harvest of Xinghuo 3 wheat is not easy, with our R&D capabilities, we want to make a matching harvest." Machine, hold it in hand.”
“But in fact, as early as the first year of Xia Shuang, we used Virtual Realm’s data deduction capabilities to deduce the benefits and risks of different choices”
"Have you used the virtual realm to deduce it?" Sumo also became solemn.
For various situations that occur within the limits of the rules, if there is no miracle of "man can conquer nature", there is basically no way to escape from the limited laws.
In virtual reality, when there is only one set of servers, it can be deduced almost exactly through repeated simulations, not to mention the unknown number of sets of servers that have been added now.
The derived data is definitely of reference significance!
"Exactly." Chen Kai nodded.
“At that time, we had many different options for our deductions. Among them, the most common ones were the use of human power and the use of machines.
Using human power, we conducted 70 million simulations. , we can basically achieve our goal of accumulating a certain amount of food.
Using machinery, we have performed 150 million times, and half of them have had various accidents, resulting in the territory not only failing to accumulate food, but Instead, there was a deficit." At this point, Chen Kai changed the topic.
"We can't afford this risk, so we can only continue to use manpower"
"Risk." Hearing this word again, Sumo sighed.
In eight years, he did not expect that the impact he left would be so serious, and help was like an invisible hand, firmly grasping the throat of the territory's forward development.
With virtual reality deductions, the territory is trying its best to avoid anything risky.
This is also the most moderate path to success.
"What about identity? If we could keep all the foreign people who participate in the summer harvest every year, how could the population be what it is now? Isn't it a problem to at least exceed one million people?"
"Stay? One million people?" Chen Kai was stunned and couldn't think of it immediately.
"Where do they have the money to pay the high price of status?"
"Cancel, no, how about lowering the points required for status?" Sumo asked.
But this time, Chen Kai did not answer.
And all the people sitting in the car looked at the monster with expressions on their faces as if they were listening to a fantasy.
"Don't you know that the points for identity are determined by the game? The money for purchasing identity is also paid directly to the game, so we don't get it at all?"
"What?" Su Mo thought He was suddenly startled and subconsciously let out a low cry.
He has thought that the identity system is a new feature forced by the game, charging high intermediary fees, and forcing humans to continue to develop.
He has also thought that the territory is also willing to participate in it to get the money for continuous development.
But Sumo never thought about it.
The identity system is proposed by the game from beginning to end, and all the points received are included in the bag, and not a single point is provided for the territory.
"Isn't this an open robbery? The game only uses one identity to confiscate human resources?"
"Yes, you can understand it this way" Chen Kai said: "In addition, the identity is not It's all exploited by the game. According to the different levels of each territory, the more identities are sold, we can also get some special rewards. Although these rewards are not fixed, if we can get a good one, its value is enough. It’s worth hundreds of millions of points”
“We’re here, let’s go in and talk about it”
Pointing to the small wooden house with warm lights in front of the car, Chen Kai stopped talking and laughed.
“The craft beer here is outstanding. Even the military commanders in the Long Banner Territory, every time they contact me, they still want to drink this one!”
Push the door open. In the car, the middle-aged store owner with a mustache had obviously received the news in advance and was waiting at the door.
Seeing everyone coming, he greeted them cordially: "Mayor Chen, all the big guys, please come inside. There's nothing else tonight, just enough beer!"
"Great! Very! Baojin, this is what I’m waiting for!”
Excitedly, he patted the other party on the shoulder. Chen Kai walked in front, and the group walked in in a mighty manner.
The wooden house has been cleared under Jiang Xiaoyu’s advance arrangements.
Just the smell of alcohol in the air and the slightly messy tables and chairs can give people a hint that the business here was also very good before.
Going along the aisle, not long after, a dozen people were divided into three boxes and sat in.
Following Sumo in a box.
They are Chen Kai from Sangtian Town, Chen Yi from Xishou County, Chen Jie from Longkou County, Chen Hou from Anhui County, and Chen Zheng from Tianyuan City.
The status of the five people is the highest among the first generation Chen family, and their abilities are also at the forefront.
Just.
Having just sat down and before the beer and snacks were served, Sumo couldn't wait to ask more questions.
Seeing how eager he was, Chen Kai could only sigh:
"No wonder the clan leader attaches so much importance to you. We are ashamed of your dedication."
"But identity is a long story. You have never been exposed to this aspect before. I have to talk to you." "Speak slowly"
"No rush, just start from the beginning." He said he was not in a hurry, but the urgency in Somo's eyes was almost ready to burst out.
In this way, Chen Kai could only tilt his head and think for a while, then slowly said:
"Identity, as we all know, was launched in the wasteland four years following the wasteland version 4.0 'Extreme Survival' The new gameplay was initially notified to the lords of each territory to collect gameplay details and regulations. It was not until late four years later in the wasteland that it was officially launched with the trading point system of version 4.5."
“After the launch, identities are only used to demarcate camps, and the price is very cheap. No matter which territory the identity belongs to, it only requires 10 trading points at most to purchase it, and it needs to be verified by the territory manager after purchase. It came into effect, providing a lot of convenience for communication between humans in the New World."
"But no one expected that in the late five years of the wasteland, with the launch of the 5.0 version of the "survival competition", this thing has undergone earth-shaking changes Change has become a butcher's knife"
" Game statement: The development of large human territories has become too large, which has the effect of covering the sky with one hand, resulting in small territories having to succumb to survive and unable to start new changes, so the identity Begin to redefine the territory. The larger the territory, the better the development, the greater the price of purchasing identity. On the contrary, the smaller the territory, the cheaper the identity. This can help small territories quickly accumulate population and generate counterattacks"
"Furthermore, identity is not a one-and-done deal. Taking our Tianyuan territory as an example, we need to pay a huge amount of tax to the game based on the population every year. The more the population, the more we pay."
"Once If the taxes and fees cannot be paid in full, they will start to be eliminated from the bottom. Starting from the cheapest people, they will be forcibly kicked out of the territory by the game overnight, resulting in the transaction points purchased before being wiped out."
Speaking of the cruel reality, Chen Kai sighed slightly, picked up the beer on the table and took a big sip.
Population, in the current environment, is both delicious honey and deadly poison.
Recruiting outsiders into the territory is not a problem.
But if you want to support these people, there are big problems.
And this is also the fundamental reason why Tianyuan Territory has always controlled the permanent population at around 500,000 for so many years.
